D6 virgin fuel oil is a type of residual fuel oil used in power plants and large ships that is produced from the refining of crude oil. It is a heavy, viscous oil with a high sulfur content, typically used as a fuel for industrial purposes.
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
Why did you capitalize "heavy"
The specific gravity of heavy fuel oil can vary, but it typically ranges from 0.95 to 1.03. It is important to consult specific fuel oil specifications or test data to determine the precise specific gravity of a particular heavy fuel oil sample.
No, water does not burn. Blending it would reduce the effectiveness of the fuel oil as a fuel.
Orimulsion is formed by blending natural bitumen, a heavy crude oil, with water and a small amount of surfactant to create a stable emulsion. The bitumen is usually extracted from tar sands or oil sands, and the resulting mixture has a high energy content that can be used as a fuel for power generation.
That depends how heavy the heavy fuel is. A gallon is a unit of capacity. A metric ton is a unit of mass. The two units are therefore incompatible.
Fuel oil is a blend of heavy intermediate products in a refinery to make a heavy fuel oil. Lube oil is processed from intermediate products to make an oil used for the lubrication of mechanical parts such as car engines, turbines, etc.
The ignition point of heavy fuel oil typically ranges from 365°C to 400°C. This is the temperature at which the oil will start to combust in the presence of an ignition source.
The residential heating oil industry is currently working to cut the sulfur content of heating oil and residential fuel oil from 1,500 parts per million to 15 parts per million by 2018. In addition to sulfur reduction, the heating oil industry is also working on new fuel blends called Bioheat which contain between 2 and 20 percent renewable fuel.
Today´s (4 October 2008) price of standard 380cST Heavy Fuel Oil is around 140 Euro/ton.
Oil is a fossil fuel composed mostly of hydrocarbons. When burned, these hydrocarbons react with oxygen to produce heat energy, which can then be used to generate electricity, power vehicles, or heat buildings. Oil is a concentrated source of energy that is widely used due to its abundance and relatively high energy content.
